England captain Ben Stokes, who didn't have any answer to Jasprit Bumrah's inswinging delivery in the first innings of the first Test against India, was similarly bamboozled by Ravichandran Ashwin in the second innings.

Facing the ace Indian spinner, Stokes was completely beaten by Ashwin's magical delivery on Saturday. The England skipper failed to understand how Ashwin managed to beat him all ends up.

With England losing a plethora of wickets in the second session on Day 3, the onus was on Stokes to hold one end and stop the collapse.

But, the all-rounder departed after scoring just 6 runs off 33 balls. Here's the video: R Ashwin to Ben StokesWhat a delivery #TeamIndia | #INDvENG | @ashwinravi99 | @IDFCFIRSTBank pic.twitter.com/sxBGnhmhl0 It was the 12th time in his Test career that Stokes had become Ashwin's victim.
